Warforged

Technically not a “species,” as they have come from multiple lineages, and yet do not fit into the bracket of the influences. They come from the country of Alba, formerly Etruria which houses a large series of fortified tunnels beneath it. During the century war, life in Eturia was near impossible. Forced to live underground and with supplies dwindling, the researchers of the country created a construct in which to house a soul.

The idea of eternal life inside of a construct might not sound too awful and to some even enticing. However this is not without its downsides. The structure is designed to imitate life in some aspects. One of those aspects is a working brain. However, this brain can only retain so much information. Unlike human brains that work by picking and choosing which memories to retain and which to remove, all these memories are stored with perfect clarity. At some point, the brains will either stop functioning or large chunks of information have to be regularly removed. From my understanding, this is not sustainable, and some have lost all their memories - starting from scratch, as it were. However the soul remains bound in the construct and can not move on until it is destroyed. This is technically the same person, however they lose everything that makes them, them.
